All of the fan ballots for the 2016 Pro Bowl have been tallied and four Seahawks players are among the top-two vote-getters at their respective positions.
Rookie Tyler Lockett leads all players at return specialist with 156,490 votes, kicker Steven Hauschka made a late push in the fan-voting process to become the second-highest vote-getter at his position with 97,762 votes, Earl Thomas ranks second among all NFL free safeties with 150,907 votes, and Kam Chancellor ranks second among all NFL strong safeties with 163,859 votes.
The fan-vote counts for one-third of the Pro Bowl vote, with players and coaches - who voted this week - accounting for the remaining two-thirds, making the NFL the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches, and players to determine its all-star teams. The 2016 Pro Bowl players will be unveiled at 5 p.m. PT next Tuesday, Dec. 22 on NFL Network and players will later be assigned to teams through an "unconferenced" Pro Bowl Draft, which will air Wednesday, Jan. 27 on ESPN2.
The Pro Bowl returns to Hawaii in 2016 after one year in Arizona, with this season's game set to be played on Sunday, Jan. 31 at Honolulu's Aloha Stadium with live television coverage on ESPN. You can purchase tickets for as low as $30 at NFL.com/ProBowl.
